Here are a few snaps from our 2000+ mile trip across Europe and back! We visited loads of amazing places, including: - St Omer - Vianden Castle - Luxembourg City - Konstanz - Innsbruck - Passo Dello Stelvio - Bormeo - Olgiasca - Baia de Pare - Monaco - Nice The car is virtually bulletproof...

All packed and ready to go! Departure tomorrow morning to head to St Omer. Images from the 2200 mile trip will be uploaded primarily to our facebook and instagram, both searchable by using @thethreerocketeers Here's the latest images from our fundraising campaign where we've raised £2750 for...

The hazards are still activating every time we get in or start the car :(

Oh my god I've developed such a hatred for this car's dumb security system. So our fob stopped working, and because we have the SE, the ultrasonic system is triggering the alarm non-stop. Unlocking the doors triggers it with hazards going crazy and it doesn't stop until the engine's off and the...

Good evening all, I hope you're all doing well. I've finally managed to log in to address the rally car. Before I continue with the update, I must apologise for not being able to attend the Japfest as planned. A culmination of things from having a car in no state to present to going through a...

Gave you chaps a mention in our 2nd paper feature! http://www.halsteadgazette.co.uk/news/15196154.Banger_rally_racer_to_star_in_world_famous_car_show/

Thanks Steve, I'll check out the TA page once I post this. That's 30th April right? Looks like there's Donnington and Silverstone on two separate dates. I, for one, would love to be involved in that! The tour isn't until mid-August, so we get most of the Summer to show off the car

https://www.facebook.com/thethreerocketeers/videos/390006788034501/ Thanks Steve, the above link should work! We're totally happy with it. I want to get some better video online at some point - it's just that with so few roads locally that you can safely open up on while having someone...

Whew. What a weekend! It was all about exhaust this weekend. We found a £50 back box on Ebay, it was E-marked, and it had to go on! So we went about using a farm workshop that was opened up to us kindly, and we sawed, grinded, welded and joined together a new exhaust section. The complication...

Thanks! The mod probably cost about £80 in total. £20 for the bull bar, £40 for the ring lamps, £20 for wires, crimps and fuses. Pretty fun mod to do! Remains to be seen if our amateur wiring will stand the test of time and British weather

One from this week. Must've blown a fuse as the tail lights and interior lights aren't working with the headlight switch anymore. That's something to solve this weekend. It won't be driven until it's remedied.

Thanks everyone! I think we've grown too attached to it! We'll bring it back so that we can have it present for when we hand over the giant cheque to the charity. If we can get a photo of it in the hand-over, it'll be something I'll be framing ;)

Thanks very much, Simon!

Fantastic! Thanks so much! I'll look into setting up an app to track our progress. I'm not too bad on the technical side of things, so there must be a way of displaying our GPS position on a website or something or other

That's a good idea, though I can't think of any practical way of doing it. We will be regularly updating our Facebook and Instagrams. Both can be found at @thethreerocketeers :)
